Re: would like to know...

Use the G& M code M06 that is for tool changes. In your code simply add M06
before the move that requires it. In manxnc some versions the machine stops
the X-Y travel. You shut off the spindle unless you have a spindle
controlled solid state relay and then change the tool and press enter.
Desknc is similar.
